[coughs] I think Yui's actions towards Miaka are sort of like my issues with a friend of my own. Yui apparently didn't seem to trust Miaka enough to go to her with her problem, and instead believed Nakago. Miaka was also at fault, though..

She lost trust in Miaka though because the fact is that Miaka was not there for her when she was raped and then saved by Nakago (although it didn't happen in actuality in her mind the sensations were real). Then when she did come, Miaka did say that she came back for Tamahome. Miaka and Nakago really gave Yui a mind-screwing. I really feel she's a victim, not a bad person.

Fushigi Yuugi is by far my favorite manga series of all time. My favorite character was Amiboshi. He had the most tragic story in my opinion. It just never seemed to stop raining for that boy. I do think that Yui should be excused for her actions because she was being manipulated by Nakago the whole time even if some real feelings did develop between the two. I actually find Yui's character tragic too because of her relationship with Nakago (yes, the Tamahome and etc. stuff included) because she was being manipulated and didn't realize it (even if it was clear to those around here). There are a lot of girls like that and because of that her character gets me down. Hey, I'm rambling. Ooopsies.

You brought up some good points that I really agree with especially about Yui. I found it kind of sad how Amiboshi was the last Seiryuu alive. In a way that makes like the other Seiryuu were completely evil and deserved to die, but I don't think they were.

The reason why I bring this up is because I have doubts about Hotohori's and Chichiri's assumed abilities. A lot of people believe it's Hotohori's swordsmanship....buuuuut, he was trained in fencing since a very young age. If that were his ability then I don't believe he'd really need training by someone who doesn't have as much skill. All we know about Hotohori's power really is that his lifeforce was stronger than Tamahome's in their battle. Onto Chichiri...Chichiri was taught magic by the old hag. He didn't even have magic really until he hung out at the mountain after his friend died. If it were his ability...he'd already have had it and would've been able to see the bubbles and stuff which leads me to wonder, "What are their abilities?"
Also, common misconception, Tasuki's ability is actually super speed. He doesn't use it very often so people think it's his fan (which was used by other people, remember?)

XD that's great. We'll have to go up Barnes&Nobles one day and read. Has anyone seen Fushigi Yuugi Gaiden in stores? It was released before Genbu Kaiden, but I'm not sure if it got picked up in America. It's the one that goes more in depth with the characters and two of the volumes made the 3rd OVA.

It is quite mysterious isn't it? I'd say that Chichiri's power is able to turn 2ft tall, but sadly other characters do it as well. I don't think Yuu's ever even mentioned their power. Perhaps it's in the 2nd FY series that I have yet to see.
